Zipping files compresses them into a single archive, making it easier to upload multiple files at once.

On Windows

  1. Select Files/Folders:

    • Highlight the files or folders you want to compress.

  2. Right-Click:

    • Choose “Send to” → “Compressed (zipped) folder”.

  3. Name the ZIP:

    • Enter a name for your ZIP file and press Enter.

  4. Ready to Upload:

    • Your ZIP file is now ready to upload to the application.


On Mac

  1. Select Files/Folders:

    • Highlight the files or folders you want to compress.

  2. Right-Click / Control-Click:

    • Choose “Compress” from the menu.

  3. ZIP File Created:

    • A ZIP file will appear in the same location, usually named Archive.zip (you can rename it).

  4. Ready to Upload:

    • Your ZIP file is ready to be uploaded.


💡 Tip: Always check that all files you want to upload are included in the ZIP before submitting.
